AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1 Silver Themes...

I have a great suggestions for some variations of the Silvergreen Theme from AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1...

What if these variations where made?

Silverblue Theme (Same as Silvergreen, but with silver and blue color)

Silverblue BeOS lookalike Theme (modified so that it looks identical to BeOS GUI)

Silverblack (Following the same inspiration as Silvergreen)
Silverblack BeOS-styled Theme (as above but BeOS-styled)

Silvergold Theme (As Silvergreen, but in silver when the windows are inactive, and in gold when active)

Silvergold BeOS-styled Theme (modified to look like BeOS)


How does these sound?

@Helgis

Silverblue BeOS/Zeta lookalike theme would be possible and would be awesome too !

@samo79

I agree. I actually managed to modify the Zami-theme a while back when i had my last Pre4 OS4.0 setup..

Look under pictures taken from Helgis

@Helgis

I too would like to see a Silver/Blue theme.

@TheKorn

Woah, your avatar gives me the shivers!

Cheers,

@Helgis

Well would be cool if you are doing somethings similar, I had always problems using Atez theme, for a strange reason I can obtain that classic BeOS effect, I mean that particularly "trunked workbench bar" or what is its real name ...

@samo79

I managed to change some settings in the information part of the theme, if you know what i mean...

Try to right-click the mouse button, point at the information of the theme file and check the settings in there..

There was something that should be changed there so that the windows would look like the Atez Theme..

I managed to do that with Zami...

Again, google the Helgis WB Screenshots, and you will have some ideas what i am talking about.

@Helgis

Hi, today I put a little exercise of change the colors in the SilverGreen theme.

I put a SilverBlack and a SilverBlue themes in the OS4depot, so I think you like it take a look.

I put some images in the Images dir of Amigans.net too.

@Helgis

Very cool, but hope to see screenshots of that, and perhaps you can tell how one would make such themes? What tools do you use?

Update: I have seen them in AW.net and they look amazing. Especially love the blue one. Black could be a bit too dark. Try a SilverGold one if possible, and try to make a BeOS-style version of them, too, by following the advice i gave in earlier posts.

@Helgis

Hi, Helgis.

When you talk about "BEOS" think something like this ?

It's the look that I remember of BEOS, there is a theme called ATEZ similar, but in yellow.

I'm working in a blue version (look the image in the link), but at the moment is a preview, need change some basics like buttons, colours , etc.

in a few days i try to put the final version in the net, as the new and reworked version of the SilverBlue.

@RIBDEVIL
That looks pretty cool, although I dislike the look of the scrollbars (hope that is a work-in-progress).

@RIBDEVIL

Yes, that's correct! Should be possible to do that with the Silver Themes as well. I managed that with the Zami Theme a couple of years back..

@ChrisH

Such things are always a work-in-progress, my friend

@Helgis

In this link that i provide, you can see that i modified the Zami-theme to have the BeOS-style. This can be done by
making a change in the Information of the theme...

Helgis Modified Zami Network Theme

@Helgis

Hi, I put a new snapshoots with the Atez in Blue, now with the scroll bars changed and new textures and colors, look here.

http://www.amigans.net/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=297

I think, this is the final version, in a few days I put in OS4depot.

Look at the Silver & Gold here :

http://www.amigans.net/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=299

I try to make a Beos variant of all the colors.

@RIBDEVIL

Very nice

@RIBDEVIL

My oh my, you have certainly been busy Will check them out. Thank you!

Update: I can see you have spent quite some time editing the themes, and you have done amazingly well! Keep it up!

@All

I am interested in making changes to themes myself and something like that, and would love to be able to upload my own OS4 stuffs to OS4Depot when the time comes, but don't know if i am allowed to upload stuffs to that site..

For a couple of years back, i was banned from making comments to files and programs at OS4Depot, mostly
because of its' close bond to AmigaWorld, as that was
the site i was ultimately banned from last year in the end..

If i am able to upload things as well as downloading files and programs from OS4Depot, then i am really fine with that, and have no need to place comments in OS4Depot. If this is the case, then i am happy with that. I wish the moderator responsible for OS4Depot could send me a private PM so that
i can know this for sure. Would very much appreciate that.

@Helgis

You don't need a username to do that, You can freely upload stuff on OS4Depot, off course mantainers must approval your file before

@samo79

Oh, that's great! I noticed that myself when checked out the Submit edition on that site. I'm relief that it's possible.

Thanks, matey!
